Skyrim Dragonborn Screenshots Depict Solstheim, Ash Spawn

Bethesda divulged more information on Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim's next DLC pack today. They've provided a features list for the Dragonborn content and also released a batch of new images.

In Dragonborn, players will travel to the island of Solstheim. It's east of Skyrim and northwest of Vvardenfell (the setting of Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind). This island was actually the setting for Morrowind's expansion pack Bloodmoon.

This new adventure pits players against the first Dragonborn. They'll also encounter other enemies such as Ash Spawn and Rieklings. The DLC's trailer also indicated that you'll run into werewolves.

Players will become much more powerful through the course of this journey. They can gain new abilities, including a Dragon Aspect power that lets them strengthen their shouts or deal massive damage to enemies. As they explore a new Daedric realm, players will also find "books of forbidden knowledge" that enable them to choose new skill and ability paths. The DLC is also loaded with new gear, including Bonemold and Chitin armors and Stahlrim weapons.

Dragonborn will debut on Xbox 360 on December 4th for 1600 MS Points ($20). The release dates for other platforms haven't been announced yet.
